random samplings of a restless mind scanning life's canopy
That is the big question raised by Derrick Jensen, described here by Amy Goodman as the "poet philosopher of the ecological movement" - although I have to admit I hadn't heard about him until I heard him talking to Goodman on the radio last week. Perhaps its because I've been too busy getting tenure as an ecologist to be in the ecological movement. I don't know. In any case, he offers much to think about in this interview. Not everything I agree with, but enough to make me want to look for his books too now, the latest of which is Deep Green Resistance.
I'm a reconciliation ecologist studying the responses of wildlife to human influences through an evolutionary lens. I seek ways to apply evolutionary ecology towards reconciling biodiversity conservation with human development. Also a father of two girls; photographer; birdwatcher; bookworm; cinephile; and explorer of the internets.
